fd_monitor is a new class which can monitor a set of fds, waiting for them
to become readable. When an fd becomes readable, a callback is invoked.
Timeouts are also supported.
This is intended to replace the "bufferfill" threads. Rather than one
thread per bufferfill, we will have a single fd_monitor which can service
multiple bufferfills. This helps today with nested command substitutions,
and will help in the future with concurrent execution.
